Police say the teens will be arraigned Monday in Barnstable District Court.
Barnstable police arrested two teenagers on Saturday for allegedly shooting a 28-year-old woman in the chest in Hyannis.
According to court documents, Evan Araujo, 18, and Jacob Winbush, 19, of Hyannis, will be arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Monday.
Police are charging both teens with armed assault to murder with a firearm, assault and battery with a firearm, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, and possession of ammunition without an FID card.
According to a press release from the Barnstable Police Department, Araujo was ordered held without bail based on the charges and a probation violation. Authorities held Winbush on a $100,000 cash bail.
According to the police report, officers responded around 4:16 a.m. Saturday to 174 Main St. in Hyannis after receiving a report that someone had been shot.
When officers arrived, they found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest behind the apartment building.
Police spoke with witnesses on the scene who told them they heard four or five gunshots, followed by the woman falling down the staircase. The woman later came running out of the main building in an attempt to find her vehicle.
Police saw people still inside the apartment where witnesses had heard the gunshots and observed them looking out the windows.
Police set up a perimeter for safety, closing nearby streets. Later, they identified the two people still inside the apartment as Araujo and Winbush.
Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council SWAT and Negotiations Team members established contact with Aruajo and Winbush. They were able to get them to exit the building without further incident.
Police were issued a search warrant for the apartment where they found two rounds of ammunition. Inside the stairwell directly outside the apartment, police found a bullet hole in the wall.
Police found a bullet lodged in a wooden support near where the woman fell down the staircase.
Police also found a black Glock 19 BB gun and a large pellet rifle.
First responders rendered first aid to the woman at the scene before transferring her to Cape Cod Hospital.
At the hospital, the woman told police, “They shot me,” but she did not know who shot her.
The woman was then med-flighted to a Boston area hospital for further treatment.
According to police, the woman is recovering and expected to survive.
